Summary

This study tests a virtual reality program where children with autism watch avatars of themselves doing social behaviors like making eye contact and then practice those behaviors. 75 children aged 6-11 will be split into three groups: one gets the VR training, one gets standard therapy, and one gets no extra help. The goal is to see if the VR approach improves social communication skills.
